An American FBI agent (C) leaves with an unidentified US diplomat after he was granted bail at a police station in Karachi on May 8, 2014. An American FBI agent who was arrested in Pakistan for trying to board a plane while carrying ammunition was released on bail Thursday, officials said. The unnamed agent was arrested at Karachi airport on Monday when security staff found him carrying 15 bullets for a 9mm handgun during routine checks for a flight to the capital Islamabad. A court in Karachi approved the bail application and ordered payment of a bond worth one million Pakistani rupees ($10,000), senior police officer Rao Anwar told AFP. AFP
